I can confirm that this problem remains in the release version of Kubuntu 9.04 with only the regular packages installed. The "DSL" and "Mobile-broadband" tabs are greyed out in the network management plasmoid.
I tried installing the backports to get KDE 4.3, but the problem remains (and it's still as annoying). As a workaround, PPPOE connections can still be established using pppoeconf and pon/poff/plog, but it's a pain in the ass to do this using the command line every time I plug in my laptop to my pppoe connection. ** Summary changed: - Can't add PPPoE account at Network Manager in Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha 5 + Can't add PPPoE account at Network Manager in Kubuntu 9.04 -- Can't add PPPoE account at Network Manager in Kubuntu 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-network-manager in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
